*Only thin the material as a last resort to improve spray performance.
Optimal spray performance should be acheived simply by adjusting the
various controls on the unit.
This unit contains no servicable electrical parts. Do not attempt to
service yourself. Store indoors with the cord wrapped around the
turbine handle.
